An Overview of KAIROS

The word “Kairos” means “the Lord’s time.” It is a special time which extends from 4:00p.m. on a Thursday until 6:00p.m. the following Sunday evening and is spent at Camp Egan in Tahlequah, OK.

During the Lord’s time a team of students and faculty members from Cascia Hall and Bishop Kelley High schools give talks, lead discussions, activities, prayer and celebrate the Eucharist with the participants.

The Kairos retreat program is an adaptation of the Cursillo for seniors high school, but one extraordinarily appropriate and cohesive in its theology and philosophy. Originally called the “Christian Awakening Program,” it was developed in 1965 by a team of priests, brothers and laymen.

KAIROS Participants and Team

Each retreat consists of 34 student candidates from Bishop Kelley and Cascia Hall. Six student team members and four adult team members plus a director and assistant director from each school lead the retreat.
